The exhibition by the Indianapolis Art Asso-
citation will open at Masonic Hall on the 18th

Chicago. who had dictatorship of last years ex-
hibit, will have the same connection with that of
this year. The coming exhibit will far surpass
any previous effort of the association, so far as
variety and the high standard of the works
shown are concerned. The hall will
be filed to its full capacity by
this exhibition. There will be fewer extra
large pictures than last year. but many
of medium size. Many of these are
works that have appeared in recent European
exhibitions some at the Paris salon of 1886. 9TH

Lord Weeks, an American artist in Paris. This
painting attracted great attention at the Paris
Salon last season. 1t represents a scene in

Another great painting is "Amaf" a ruined
Italian seaport by Unterbergen, celebrated
painter of Neapolitan scenes, though little
known in the West. No artist is now attracting
attention through his pictures than Gan

minute attention to detail and finish, has some
times been called the younger Melssonier. One

French Directory, and Three Art Lovers" The
largest of these paintings is eight by twelve

able delicacy, almost microscopic in finish, with
wonderful color and subtle in expression.
There will be fine collection, less than

His last years prize picture will be included in
the list. Last year there was a general express

gratifed. as the collection will contain specimens
of the work of several Of the best artists in the
United States. including Bierstadt, Kruse-

dent in this country, Arthur Parton and
others. Another notable picture will be 1.-The
Embodiment of Christ" by Giacomo Favretto.

sion yesterday morning. The greater part of
the days work was by committees, and reports
will not be made before Monday.
Revs. Drs. Stowe and Crauston, agents of the
Western Methodist Book Concern, of Cncin-
natl, spoke in the interest of the concern. Civ
ing some interesting facts and figures in refer
ence to the growth and prosperity of the pub
fishing interests under their The capital
of the concern in 1886 was $500 OF 80. The
sales for that year were 1870, 1863 &c. being an
increase of $161, DAG. So in six years. The con-
Germ has branch houses at Chicago and St Louis

SPREAD OF CONTAGIOUS DISEASES.
The Health officers Take Steps to More Strin.
gently Enforce the Sanitary Laws.

The great increase in sickness in the past ten
easiness, and from now on the most stringent
measures are to be adopted in enforcing the
health laws, and in relation to the reporting of
contagious diseases There several causes
to which physicians attribute the increase in
sickness The accumulated filth of the winter
has not been removed from some por-
tons of the city, and that this is
the leading cause is apparent from the localities
where the sickness prevails to the greatest ex-
tent. Tomorrow the police arctic be instructed
to see that all the alleys in their respective dis
tricts are cleansed of garbage. and the health
board will for several days pay special attention
to the back yards of careless property holders.
The death-list reached forty Ave last week, the
largest number for several months The NOR
taity resulted from almost all diseases though
the deaths from measles have given the physi-
clans and health officers the most concern. In
all there are about fifty cases of the disease in
the city, and twelve deaths occurred last
week 1t is noticeable that on nearly all
the returns of death it was stated
that the fatality was due to complications of diff
ferent sorts. There is considerable pneumonia
accompanying the measles. and more or less
diphtheria. with some typhoid fever. Begin
ming with yesterday. the health board will re-
quire ali cases of the disease reported immedi-
a,ely and cards will be put up.
There has also been an increase in the number
of cases of scarlatina. but serious results are
feared from it. as it is appearing in q light
form in most instances. Twenty-six cases were
reported for the week, with but one death. The
indications that diphtheria has about run its
course, and, while there were several new cases
during the week, but two fatalities were re-
ported. There during the week one death
from scarlet fever. three from typhoid fever.
three from pneumonia, and two from consump.
ton. The Board OF Health and the leading
physicians think there is no cause for alarm
over the sick increase, which generally comes
with the spring.

ONCE-PREVALENT DISEASES.
Why They Have Disappeared from Indiana
Indications of Smallpox Epidemic.

"Some diseases once very prevalent here,' re-
marked medical man, "are no longer common.
They seem to have moved on, and have proba-
bly, gone West to where the soil is new and
more encouraging for their depredations
Everybody knows that fever n ager' of the old
fashioned type is no more. and that the calling
together of the entire household in the morning
to be dosed with bitters' before family prayers
is among the things that were. It used to be
that every spring nearly every member of the
family, especially the youthful members, had to
undergo course of blood publication by means
of 'sassypariller' and similar alteratiyes, or
alternatives as the natives were apt to call
such remedies. AS surely as spring came every
mother of family would see to it that the girls
and boys had their sassafras tea to clear out
their blood There was some thrift in this, too,
as the pink tea made of sassafras was
much cheaper than the decoction of the
Chinese leaf, which was then distinctively called
store tea Spring was apt to bring about large
amount of intestinal trouble. Complaints of this
kind no longer mark the approach of the vernal
season. 1t used to be that, except potatoes and
dried apples, people had few fruits and vegeta-
tables in the winter. and, in consequence, when
peep above the ground. they began to eat it, and
sickness followed The wild anxiety for green's
that existed dozen years or SO ago can hardly
be understood now. Canned vegetables, az we
have them now. all the year round, and espe-
cialIy in the winter, have almost obllterated the
bowel disorders incident to spring and early sum-
mer Besides having canned vegetables in the
winter our railroad facilities with the South are
much improved. and we get from that section 10
the spring vegetables that are matured, inste
of eating the product of our gardeners before 1t
is ready for the consumer.
Now, I want to make little prediction.
This winter eruptive diseases have been prev
aent: These diseases, when so nearly cpl
demic as they have been here this winter, are
usually precursors of that dread disease, small
pox. The Atlantic coast has been remarkably
free from smallpox this winter but it has ragged
on the Pacific, and next winter we may look for
it as an epidemic here and in the East. Vaccine
companies that watch these indications very
closely are confident that they will have large
demand for virus next winter, and are preparing

THE STONE-CUTTERS' STRIKE.
Work Entirely Suspended in All the Yards
Statement from the Strikers.

Not tool was raised in any of the stone
yards yesterday. Among those vino quit work
during the day were all the cutters at the Union
Depot and work there has to be entirely sus-
pended. The great rush of work had compelled
the bosses to employ a larger number of cut
tiers than for several years. and the strike has
stopped work on all the stone buildings being
erected in the city.
About seventy-fve of the strikers met at No.
101 East Washington street, last night. to con-
slider the situation. The meeting was held under
the auspices of the Stone-cutters' Association of
Indianapolis and vicinity. Letters we're read
from many of the associations in other cities,
indorsing the action of the men here. and urging
them to hold out for forty-fve cents per hour.
By a unanimous vote, the strikers agreed to
stay out until their demands are acceded to. The
following statement of their case was prepared
ard accepted by all present as correct:
''We the stone cutters desire to make correction
in regard to the statements published referring to
strike. 1t is stated quit work before the day set
which is incorrect, stopped the list of April
and instead of working hours day for the last
three years have had the eght-hour day since the
LIST of May. 'S6. The contractors notified on
the 9Th day of February instead of three weeks ago.
that the wages would be advanced, thus giving them
weeks instead of three to prepare for what
coming and there not, to knowledge con-
tract let in the city previous to that time thus giving
them a fair chance to Inquire accordingly. " do not
consider asking anything unreasonable, as AS
cents is the current rate of wages throughout the
country and in most of the principal cities it is high
The wages have been lower here on account of
the Statehouse, they have been taking contracts
outside and the contractors of the city have been
able to compete with them account of their ma
chinery and having no yard rent to pay
The bosses concede that the wages in all other
large cities is forty-fve cents per hour, but
claim that they cannot afford to pay that amount
here this summer, for the reason that they have
made all their contracts on the thirty five cents
per-hour rate
The stone saw-mill Of the State-horse
contractors has had much to do with
the strike. 1t has recently been doing
considerable outside work in the way OF
dressing stone aud had undertaken to do all the
work for the Union Depot Thurday. at the
unanimous request of the yard proprietors in the
| city, the State-house Commissioners informed
the contractor that he must use the mill only for
| State-house work.
| The bosses are yet undetermined what steps
they will take. and they will probably hold a
| meeting tomorrow evening to decide.
